A city centre junction has been slammed for having crashes ‘every week’ — with some fatal, and others resulting in cars smashing into a historic building.
The crossroads where Trinity Way and Blackfriars Road meet, in Salford, has seen 20 crashes from the start of 2017 to mid-2022. Of those, two were fatal, and six were classed as ‘serious’ by cops.
The other 12 recorded by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were seen as ‘slight’ — but this is not believed to be the true number of incidents that have taken place there — as some will not be reported to officers. Now, authorities say improvements have been made to the junction to prevent the tragedies happening again.
